Customer Reviews Hoka Anacapa 2 Low GTX®

I have been buying Hokas for many years. After having a tendon tear in my foot several years ago I need wide shoes. I have been waiting for a waterproof hiking shoe in a wide for Well, what seems like forever. I really wanted to love these shoes, but the tongue is too long and rubs on my ankle. Also unlike the other styles of wide shoes, these seem to be much wider. Why are there so few waterproof Hokas in wide? So disappointing they'll have to go back

I would not buy this product again. Balance is wonderful, but the product is too wide and that is uncomfortable. My heal gets sore at times where the top rolls up.

These shoes have NO insole, nothing to feel supported. Completely disappointed. Pain constantly from bunions. Crazy pain with these shoes. Awful

Way to firm - was looking for something plush and comfy - yet supportive. The insides were as hard as a rock.

I loved the Anacapa 1 low GTX, in fact, I wore them out. I ordered the Anacapa 2 low GTX which replaced the 1. I don't like it as well. It doesn't fit snugly enough around the ankle and the laces are tough to get tight. I ordered on-line and didn't try them on first. I should have. They are ok, but I won't wear on long hikes as I had hoped. The fit is just not there. Disappointed.

I love my Hoka's, they have completely solved my feet issues and I will be a forever customer. I was excited to try their hikers, but I found them uncomfortable. I know hikers are stiffer, but these were an uncomfortable stiff. I am hopeful to try again later as the hikers evolve. Every foot is different so I hope they work for you.

The shoe is lightweight but sturdy. The rounded toe was roomy. But, the rest of the shoe was on the wider side. It didn't matter how heavy my socks were or how tight I laced them. My foot wiggled around and felt like it wasn't supported enough for hiking. I had to return them.

I'm still on the fence about the GTX waterproof version. Yes they keep my feet dry. They easy to get on & off. It's the stiffness I don't like. Still debating.. My other Hokas are so comfortable, I could sleep in them! But, I live in rainy WA state and also Florida & need waterproof! Are all the GTX with leather Hokas stiff?

Too wide!

Truly waterproof, very comfortable walking shoe. My only drawback is that there isn't enough arch support for my foot. Needed to use my own orthotics in this shoe.

I bought my normal size and they felt alright until I used them for hiking. Then they felt too short. My toes were very sore from hitting the end of the shoe. I am very disappointed as they were expensive. I have owned six pairs of Hoka shoes before this pair, and have never had this problem. I wish I had bought them in a larger size as I am unable to wear them again.

Have had the boots for 2 weeks and the hooks to tighten laces feel off, and wont stay back in

These look nice and they are durable. The outsole is sturdy with great traction. But there are two big dealbreakers. 1. They are very uncomfortable with cushioning distributed in a way that doesn't work for me. Wearing them for any length of time makes my feet hurt. I have even tried them with third-party cushioned insoles and it doesn't help much. Not what I expected from a Hoka shoe. 2. Even worse, despite what you read on the online gear review sites, they are not very waterproof at all. After spending 15 minutes in a moderate rain or walking through a couple of puddles (deep enough to cover the toes but not come in through the top), water starts seeping in around the toes. My feet don't get soaked, but they get pretty damp. And then they take forever to dry out. I don't think this is just the DWR wearing down because they have been this way since soon after I bought them. I have had much better luck with other shoes that cost me 1/3 the price. This was a big part of why I bought them, so I am deeply disappointed.

I've had for about a month now and I don't even hike in them but they are already are peeling at toe.

All of my shoes are Hokas. I have problematic feet and I love to walk. It's the one shoe I can wear and walk miles in. I have 4 pairs. Therefore I felt confident in buying the hiking boot online. Im not at all pleased with the fit. It does not feel good to hike in. It hurts my ankles and the soles of my feet. It also is not attractive. So this one was a disappointment.

This shoe has a cheaper and less supportive feel than my other Hoka styles. The material on top of the shoe is oddly rough and was the first pair I've owned to give me a blister. The tread and foot support were nothing to write home about. Disappointed in these so-called low cut hikers. I do love my other Hoka styles and will stick to what works.

Fits well and comfortable for trail hike but Squeaky after few mo ths and the return window has passed.

The shoes are looking good and are very comfortable, but are poor quality. For this price, I'd expect them to last for at least a year or two, but after just 6 months of light use the fabric on the heels is completely gone and the plastic from underneath is hurting my heels. It's impossible to wear them at this moment. I'm extremely disappointed. I had shoes for a third of this price serving me for much longer.

Not sure why they market these as a waterproof shoe, the first puddle I put a toe in resulted in wet feet. They are comfortable enough, the insoles were all wonky and unevenly inserted when they arrived, but once I fixed that I was fine. But definitely do not buy these if you need them to keep you dry.

I have a pair of hoka tennis shoes which I totally love,5 stars. But I was disappointed in the hiking shoe as it was advertised as waterproof and it was anything but . I was out in wet conditions and my socks were wet with in a couple hrs.

I bought the shoes at Skinny Raven in Anchorage a few months ago for hiking in the spring. They took some breaking in causing blisters. Soon the fabric at the back of the heel broke, and the hole feels very uncomfortable. I am disappointed at the low quality.

Bought a pair of these less than a year ago from Eastern Mountain Sports and have worn them frequently enough that I think I'm capable of writing an honest review. Initially purchased because I'd heard how comfortable HOKAs are and wanted a new hiking shoe, but I've found the footbed to be stiff, cheap feeling and painful if worn too long. If walking or hiking in the rain, the design of the heel kicks water up and soaks the bottom of whatever pants I'm wearing. Additionally, they've developed an annoying clown-like squeak that won't go away. I'm super disappointed as I was initially excited about them, but I now regret wasting the $180 and not returning them off the bat.

I was looking for waterproof shoes to wear while on vacation. I plan to do a lot of walking. I have a pair of Hoka's that are super soft and light weight. They minimize the impact from walking down stais. HOWEVER, these Hoka's are horrific. You may as well be walking barefoot on concrete. They are uncomfortable and hard on the inside. I order the B width, but these also look quite chunky and not flattering at all. I was so excited until I put them on. They are definitely being returned. Not at all what I expected. Would not recommend for anyone.
